About

We are easy-going, middle age guys, well-traveled, multi-lingual and focus on quality of life — always striving to live each day to the fullest. This means sharing great meals, camaraderie, and activities that are both rewarding yet productive. We make time to enjoy the weather, sunsets, hike the local trails, and we hit the nearby lakes, beaches and festivals often.

Often looking for helpers, teachers, students — as we’re all learning each and every day! We stay busy… if you are looking to participate in an active retreat with space to be with nature — then we are likely the place for you!

Come join us in growing our garden/orchards, building new structures, a learning centre, more hiking trails, and other amenities for future guests. We always enjoy and appreciate a variety of cultures, skills and perspectives.

About Us

YUNDA Stead is an eco-centric homestead offering life & work experience in sustainability, ecology, climate education, permaculture / biodynamic / nutritional agriculture as well as music, art, bodywork, and meditation retreats in the beautiful Noosa Hinterlands of Sunshine Coast region in Queensland Australia.

We have majestic vistas of the surrounding Noosa Beach region and the northern end of the Sunshine Coast hinterland. There are six peaks visible from our front entry including: Mount Cooran, Pinbarren, Cooroora, Mount Boulder, Tinbeerwah, and more…

Our 50 acre property is a third natural rainforest, a third regenerated native forest, and a third grassland with orchards, gardens and amenities. It’s been naturally organic since 1984 following 40 years as dairy pastureland, 40 years as a banana plantation, and a timber harvest in 1909.

We try to sustainably re-purpose and thoughtfully leverage all our available resources to grow… through the efforts of helpers we create, through the generosity of supporters we are better able to thrive. Want to help?
